A retired Plainfield police captain was on trial in July for having sex with women and not telling them he’s HIV positive, but was acquitted after prosecutors were barred from obtaining medical records.

“He looked at me and he said, ‘Are you HIV positive?’ and I said, ‘Yes, and it’s okay, there’s nothing to be afraid of, there’s medication now, we can live a normal life,'” Jefferey Villacampa said. “That was the end of that conversation and shortly after I was fired without notice.”
